"No, can't we just run away when that smoke man comes?" Luffy understood what he meant and pleaded with all his might.

Hearing what Luffy and the others said, Nojiko and Nami also looked at Rice and asked for his opinion.

Rice smiled at the two women and said confidently:"Don't worry, that marine is no match for me. We can have a good time here for a few days." On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't resist Luffy and decided to stay for dinner.

Outside the suburbs.

Smoker stopped and took out a pink Den Den Mushi, which was his female bestie Tina.

"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu"

"Hello, I'm Tina." A pleasant female voice sounded

"It's me, Smoker. How long will it take you to get here?"

"Oh, it will probably take another day. Killing pirates on the way wasted some time. What's wrong? What happened?" Tina asked.

She knew that this man would not call her unless there was nothing wrong, and usually when he called, there was nothing good.

"Bring some rainmaking boats, this country needs rain���Let's do our best to repair the damage done to this country." Smoker's calm voice was filled with regret and sadness.

"Yes, I will."Tina agreed and became serious.

"I have to tell you one thing. The mastermind behind the drought in Alabasta is Crocodile. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."Smoker said with a mocking tone.

"What, it's him? That's a bit troublesome. Smoker, can you beat him? Do you want to call for more support?"Tina hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"No need, Crocodile has been defeated, but it was not me, but Les."Smoker said in a deep voice

"What! That new guy from the East Sea, Les? This pretty boy, he actually defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile. It seems that his strength should not be underestimated."Tina exclaimed, her tone was very surprised.

After all, in her impression, Les was just a rookie who had just started out. She didn't expect that he would reach the peak as soon as he debuted and directly defeated Crocodile.

"If we want to arrest him, we should call for support."Tina said.

Smoker shook his head and said slowly:"You know that our headquarters is in a tight situation. I'm afraid the two of us are the strongest in the nearest sea area."

"Okay, Tina will work hard. What if she defeats the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Tina is not afraid."Tina aroused her competitive spirit and said proudly

"You misunderstood me. Why should we arrest someone like Rice? He is clearly doing a good thing. Our navy upholds justice and should not hinder such people."

"To be honest, Rice's current strength is unfathomable. He defeated Crocodile with overwhelming strength. I don't think I can last more than ten moves in front of him. Therefore, arresting Rice is unnecessary and impossible at the moment."

"Moreover, his character is the most noble I have ever seen in my life. He is also very principled and has a chivalrous heart. If possible, I would like to see him in the navy."

"Instead of being his enemy now."

Smoker said, unconsciously feeling a little emotional.

"Are you really Smoker?"

Tina couldn't believe that this was still the arrogant Smoker.

She had never heard Smoker speak of someone in such a respectful tone.

"Of course I am, idiot."

Tina was silent for a while, then said,"Why not recruit him into the navy? Since he has a sense of justice and great power, isn't it just right for him to join the navy?"

"Alas, I had the same idea, but unfortunately, he had some misunderstandings with the navy in the East China Sea before, which led to him no longer trusting the navy."

"Is that so? That's such a pity. What should we do with them then?" Tina was a little embarrassed.

"Let them go, people like them shouldn't be buried here, but we still have to pretend"

"All right. Tina knows."

Smoker was silent for a while, staring at the desert:"I have a feeling that this man will make the sea boil again."

……

In a guest room in the palace

"Open Cobra's golden chest"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the exclusive fragments of the Kingdom of Alabasta (3/10)"

Open the Golden Treasure Chest of Gakka"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the exclusive fragments of the Kingdom of Alabasta (4/10)

"Open Bell's golden chest"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the exclusive fragments of the Kingdom of Alabasta (5/10)"

"Open Weiwei's golden treasure chest"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the exclusive fragments of the Kingdom of Alabasta (6/10)"

Rice was slightly delighted. He was very curious about this exclusive treasure chest of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Rice looked into his backpack and found some goodies from the Straw Hat Pirates that he had not used. According to his plan, he would leave navigation to Nami and cooking and sniping to Nokiko.

After making up his mind, Rice looked at Nokiko lying on the bed and smiled mysteriously.

"Nojigo, I have something good for you."

Nojigo blushed and pouted,"Les, it's not some rope, black silk, white silk or something else."

Les:(°ー°〃)

"Where did you go? Not those things."

"Oh." Noqigao stood up and walked to Rice, and asked curiously:"What is that?"

"Five years of cooking skills!" Rice put his hand on Nojigo's head and pretended to pass on his skills.

"System, give five years of cooking skills to Nojigo."

Nojigo was stunned, a little confused, and then a huge memory suddenly came into his mind, including the processing of ingredients, the control of heat, etc.

Nojigo instantly felt like he had become a great chef. The things in his mind were not only learned in five years, but some of them might never be learned in a lifetime. They were talents.

Rice smiled and looked at Nojigo:"How is it?"

Nojigo's mouth curled up, with a look of joy on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction:"I feel like I have been cooking for decades. Now I can definitely make dishes that are a hundred times more delicious than before."

"Haha, I'll leave the cooking to you from now on." Rice said with a smile

"Well, in the future, Les, just tell me what you want to eat."Noqi Gao's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hahaha, you are so good, I will reward you with a sniper talent."

Nokigo's eyes sparkled when she heard this.

Recently, she has also been practicing shooting, wanting to improve her sniping skills. She found that with her devil fruit, close combat is not the best choice, sniping is

"Use the intermediate sniper talent on Nojigo."Les did the same and passed the talent to Nojigo.

"This, this is it." Nuo Qigao felt it carefully and felt that he was very familiar with wind direction, firearms and other things, as if he was born with them.
